Frequently Asked Questions About Book Ghostwriting
Hiring a ghostwriter is a big decision, especially if you've never worked with one before. Below you'll find answers to some of the most common questions about book ghostwriting, including how the process works, how writers are selected, costs, confidentiality, copyright, revisions and what you need to get started.
1. How do you choose your ghostwriters?
We carefully select professional ghostwriters based on their writing experience, proven skills, subject-matter knowledge and ability to capture a client's unique voice. For each project, we match the client with a writer whose background and expertise are best suited to the type of book, memoir or manuscript being developed. Our goal is to find the right writer for your story, not simply assign the next available writer.
2. How does one work with a ghostwriter?
Working with a ghostwriter is a collaborative process. You provide the ideas, experiences, information and direction, while your ghostwriter turns that material into a professionally written manuscript. Communication may include interviews, phone calls, notes, outlines, recordings or existing drafts. As the project progresses, you'll have opportunities to review the work, provide feedback and request revisions so the finished book reflects your story, ideas and voice.
3. Supposing I don't like the work you do?
Your feedback is an important part of the ghostwriting process. You'll have opportunities to review the work as the project develops and let us know what you'd like changed. We use your comments and direction to revise the material so the finished manuscript better reflects your voice, ideas and vision.
4. I've never worked with a ghostwriter before; can you walk me through each step?
Absolutely. We start by learning about your project, goals, audience and the material you already have. Next, we match you with a professional writer whose experience fits your book or memoir. Your writer gathers the information needed through interviews, notes, recordings, research or existing drafts, then develops the manuscript in stages. You'll review the work as it progresses, provide feedback and request revisions. We continue refining the manuscript with you until it accurately reflects your story, ideas and voice.
5. But don't ghostwriters ever feel deserving of credit?
Professional ghostwriters understand that their role is to help bring someone else's story or ideas to life. In most ghostwriting arrangements, the client is credited as the author while the ghostwriter remains behind the scenes. The specific terms regarding credit, confidentiality and ownership are established as part of the project.
6. How does book ghostwriting work?
Book ghostwriting begins with your idea, story or existing material. Your ghostwriter learns what you want the book to accomplish and gathers the information needed through interviews, notes, recordings, research or existing documents. From there, the writer organizes and develops the material into a complete manuscript while working with you throughout the process.
7. How much does it cost to hire a book ghostwriter?
The cost depends on the length and complexity of the book, the amount of research required and how much source material you provide. Our book ghostwriting rates currently start at $60 per double-spaced manuscript page. A 250-page manuscript, for example, would start at approximately $15,000. Contact us with your project details for a more accurate estimate.
8. How long does it take to ghostwrite a book?
The timeline varies depending on the length and complexity of the book, the amount of research required and how quickly information and feedback are provided. A shorter or well-developed project may move considerably faster than a book requiring extensive interviews and research. We can discuss a realistic schedule after learning more about your project.
9. Will the book be written in my voice?
That's one of the most important parts of professional ghostwriting. Your writer learns how you communicate, the tone you want to convey and the audience you're trying to reach. Interviews, conversations, notes and existing writing can all help the ghostwriter develop a manuscript that sounds authentic to you.
10. Who owns the copyright to my book?
Ghostwriting is designed so that the finished book is your work to publish and present as agreed upon in your ghostwriting arrangement. Ownership, copyright and any writer credit should be clearly addressed in the project's written agreement so both you and the ghostwriter understand the terms before work begins.
11. Is ghostwriting confidential?
Confidentiality is an important part of professional ghostwriting. Many clients do not want the involvement of a ghostwriter publicly disclosed. Project details, manuscripts and communications can be handled confidentially, and confidentiality requirements can be established in writing before the project begins.
12. Can you work with a partially completed manuscript?
Yes. You don't have to start from scratch. If you've already written part of your book, created an outline or accumulated notes and research, a ghostwriter can evaluate what you have and help develop it into a complete manuscript. Existing material can often provide an excellent foundation for the project.
13. Can you edit or rewrite a book I've already written?
Yes. If you've completed a manuscript but aren't satisfied with the writing, organization, pacing or overall presentation, we can help edit or rewrite it. The amount of work required depends on the condition of the existing manuscript and whether you need straightforward editing, substantial rewriting or more extensive redevelopment.
14. Can you help if I only have an idea for a book?
Yes. Many book projects begin with little more than an idea, personal experience or subject the client wants to explore. You don't need to arrive with a finished outline or manuscript. A professional ghostwriter can help organize your ideas, identify the material needed and develop the concept into a structured book.
